2010 ERMD Student Award
Application Deadline: March 15, 2010
The Environment and Resource
Management Division (ERMD) of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) invites applications for its 2010 ERMD Student Award. The ERMD Student Award
recognizes a student who is especially interested in pursuing a career as an
information professional dealing with environment and resource management
issues. There is a $500.00 award and if the student attends the SLA annual
meeting in New Orleans, there will be an additional reimbursement award of
$750.00. The student must be enrolled in an ALA accredited master’s degree
program, and is a member of SLA. This award is meant to promote both current and
future involvement in and commitment to the library and information science
profession prior to, during, and after the master’s program. To be considered
for the award, a student must write a 300-500 word essay describing his or her
interest in the issues facing information professionals in the environment and
natural resources fields. Essays should be labeled with the student’s name,
contact information, and educational institution. The award will be presented
at the 2010 SLA Annual Conference, which will be held June 13-16, 2010, in
New Orleans, Louisiana. The winner is encouraged, but not required, to attend
the annual conference.

Deadline for receiving submissions is March 15, 2010.
